New moms, soccer moms, CEO moms and moms with daughters who are moms of their own. It’s almost time for that special day of the year where women can pull the “mom card.”

It’s the one day of the year dedicated to mothers so they can feel special and do what they want. It’s also a day of appreciation and love shown by family members for all the hard work mothers do too. Even though mothers should be treated this way every day.

Here are some ways to pull the “mom card” this Mother’s Day:

If you want French toast with strawberries strategically placed in the shape of a heart with freshly squeezed orange juice, delivered to you in bed, while you binge watch re-runs of Grey’s Anatomy, pull the “mom card.”

If your only goal for the day is to take a bubble bath while your spouse keeps the children occupied, pull the “mom card.”

If you want to nothing more than to spend the day with your children or grandchildren working on hand-written cards and crafts, pull the “mom card.”

This weekend, there are plenty of great things to do around town with moms-- without having to pull that card. Keep it in your back pocket. Save it for another day when you might be stressed to the max.

Brunch is one of the most popular ways to treat moms. Visalia has several places to go including the Visalia Wyndham, Visalia Marriott, Crawdaddys, Tommy’s, Lamp Liter Inn, The Depot, and Rosa's Trattoria and Bar which is open for brunch and dinner. Also, Double LL Steakhouse and La Piazza in Tulare are open for dinner.

For other great ways to spend the weekend, stop by these events around town:

Take her and the rest of the family out to the ballgame because Visalia Rawhide is having a Mother’s Day Special.

The Redbud Arts and Crafts Festival 2017 on May 13 and 14, at the Three Rivers Memorial Building will showcase artists, crafters, food vendors and a quilt show.

In Tulare, women can enjoy several guilty pleasures all in one place at the T.D.E.S Mother's Day Champagne Brunch. The all-in-one event will offer tasty food and desserts, shopping, door prizes and mimosas.
